2 R&S SMZ Frequency Multiplier At a glance The new R&S SMZ family of frequency multipliers combines easy handling and precise, adjustable output levels in the frequency range from 50 GHz to 110 GHz. It can be used in diverse applications, e.g. in the automotive sector with distance radars, in astronomy with sophisticated telescopes and in radar interferometry for analyzing the earth's surface. The new family of frequency multipliers consists of the models R&S SMZ75 (from 50 GHz to 75 GHz), (from 60 GHz to 90 GHz) and (from 75 GHz to 110 GHz) as well as optional attenuators. The attenuator is integrated in the same housing as the frequency multiplier, which simplifies handling. The R&S SMZ including attenuator can be controlled from the R&S SMF100A microwave signal generator via USB. This combination operates as a single unit allowing users to directly enter the wanted frequency and the target level at the R&S SMZ output on the R&S SMF100A. Compared with conventional setups, this one-box solution significantly simplifies setup and operation. Via USB the R&S SMF100A receives all necessary data of the connected R&S SMZ, such as the configuration, the multiplication factor and in particular the precalibrated frequency response. The R&S SMF100A is able to perform automatic correction, which helps ensure that the frequency and level values set on the R&S SMF100A will actually be available at the R&S SMZ output. A costly, error-prone and time-consuming level measurement using level detectors or power sensors, which is common for conventional setups, is no longer required. Very low single sideband phase noise is achieved owing to the interaction with the high-end R&S SMF100A microwave signal generator. For a CW signal of 60 GHz, for example, an outstanding 100 dbc (10 khz offset) is achieved after six-fold frequency multiplication with the R&S SMZ75. Key facts Wide frequency range Wide dynamic range Extremely easy handling High signal quality Test setup containing the R&S SMF100A microwave signal generator and the frequency multiplier. 2

3 R&S SMZ Frequency Multiplier Benefits and key features Wide frequency range Frequency ranges from 50 GHz to 75 GHz, 60 GHz to 90 GHz and 75 GHz to 110 GHz Two models (R&S SMZ75 and ) cover the wide frequency range from 50 GHz to 110 GHz Wide dynamic range Mechanically controlled attenuator with a dynamic range of 25 db Electronically controlled attenuator with a dynamic range of 15 db Easy handling Automatic detection and control of the R&S SMZ by means of the R&S SMF100A microwave signal generator via USB Easy setups with the one-box solution consisting of the R&S SMF100A, the R&S SMZ plus an optional mechanically or electronically controlled attenuator Frequency setting on the R&S SMF100A taking the connected R&S SMZ into consideration Level setting on the R&S SMF100A taking the connected R&S SMZ into consideration (only for built-in attenuator; with the mechanical attenuator, users must set the setting screw to the value displayed on the R&S SMF100A) Automatic frequency response correction of the precalibrated R&S SMZ including attenuator by means of the R&S SMF100A (with the mechanical attenuator, users must set the setting screw to the value displayed on the R&S SMF100A) Use of the R&S SMZ also possible in conventional setups (i.e. with any microwave signal generator that meets the level and frequency requirements) For frequency-, phase- and pulse-modulated signals High signal quality Very low single sideband phase noise when the R&S SMF100A is used as a source High accuracy of the set output level Excellent matching Models R&S SMZ75 R&S SMZ-B75M R&S SMZ-B75E R&S SMZ-B90M R&S SMZ-B90E R&S SMZ-B110M R&S SMZ-B110E Frequency multiplier, 50 GHz to 75 GHz Mechanically controlled attenuator Electronically controlled attenuator Frequency multiplier, 60 GHz to 90 GHz Mechanically controlled attenuator Electronically controlled attenuator Frequency multiplier, 75 GHz to 110 GHz Mechanically controlled attenuator Electronically controlled attenuator Rohde & Schwarz R&S SMZ Frequency Multiplier 3

4 Application examples In both the civil sector and in A & D applications, the R&S SMZ frequency multiplier, in combination with a microwave signal generator, is mainly used as a local oscillator (LO). An ideal CW signal with high spectral purity and an accurate level is required. R&S SMZ without attenuator connected to the R&S SMF100A Using the R&S SMZ frequency multiplier is simple and basically the same in all applications. First, the R&S SMZ is connected to the external voltage supply. Next, the USB connection is set up. The R&S SMF100A microwave signal generator then automatically detects the type and characteristics of the connected R&S SMZ. The frequency that is to be present at the output of the R&S SMZ can then be set directly on the R&S SMF100A. The R&S SMZ output level is displayed as a non-editable value on the R&S SMF100A on the basis of the precalibrated frequency response. Lastly, the R&S SMF100A must be RF-connected with the R&S SMZ. R&S SMZ including mechanically controlled attenuator connected to the R&S SMF100A In this application, users can additionally set the actual level at the output of the R&S SMZ. Since the R&S SMF100A reads the frequency response of the R&S SMZ including attenuator via USB, the frequency response can be taken into consideration when the level is entered on the R&S SMF100A. A special display shows the value for the setting screw. This value must be set manually on the mechanically controlled attenuator so that the nominal level and the actual level match at the output of the R&S SMZ. The including mechanically controlled attenuator. R&S SMZ including electronically controlled attenuator connected to the R&S SMF100A This is the easiest way to use the frequency multiplier: The frequency and the level are set on the R&S SMF100A and the measurement can begin. The frequency response of the R&S SMZ including attenuator is automatically taken into consideration. The settings for the electronically controlled attenuator are transmitted from the R&S SMF100A to the R&S SMZ via USB. 4
